The effect of uniaxial stress on iron losses M400-50A grade non-oriented electrical steel sheets cut by punching process is experimentally studied. Samples along the rolling and transverse directions having different number cutting edges are used for this purpose. Measurements carried out in range 10–100 Hz frequency sinusoidal excitations at magnetization levels under varying using a single sh...

We present a simple mechanical model for dynamic wetting phenomena. Metallic balls spread along a periodically corrugated surface simulating molecules of liquid advancing along a solid substrate. A vertical stack of balls mimics a liquid droplet. Stochastic motion of the balls, driven by mechanical vibration of the corrugated surface, induces diffusional motion. Simple theoretical estimates are...

To obtain the eigenmodes of the electromagnetic field at a periodically corrugated metamaterial we consider a theory of spoof plasmons propagating on metamaterial perforated with planar periodic grooves. We present the rigorous modeling and analysis of surface waves at the boundary of the corrugated metamaterial structure. Particularly, we pay special attention to the ways of controlling the pr...

This paper deals with the interaction between a moving wheelset and a slab track due to the shortpitch corrugated rail. The wheelset is modeled using a free-free Timoshenko beam with attached rigid bodies as the axle boxes, wheels and brake discs. The slab track model consists of elastically supported double EulerBernoulli beams. In fact, both wheelset and slab track are symmetric structures an...

Steel extended end plate bolted connections are recommended to be widely utilized in special moment-resisting frame subjected to monotonic loading. Improper design of steel beam to column connection can lead to the collapse and fatality of structures. Therefore comprehensive research studies of beam to column connection design should be carried out. Also the performance and effect of corrugated...

conclusions atypical irregular tumors should be considered as sos when the patient has received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. a qualitative imaging modality diagnosis, such as with diffusion-weighted mri, is superior to a morphological diagnosis in focal sos. this imaging modality can prevent unnecessary operations. case presentation a 40-year-old woman with rectal cancer underwent high anter...

Few-moded or over-moded horns are now being proposed for far-IR space receiver systems, e.g. the High Frequency Instrument (HFI) on the ESA PLANCK Surveyor. In such systems individual waveguide modes can couple independently to an overmoded detector (such as a bolometer in an integrating cavity). We consider in detail the case of a cylindrically symmetric configuration consisting of a corrugate...

thin-walled hollow steel columns, either circular or box shaped, are commonly used as piers in bridges. recent earthquakes, e.g. hyogoken-nanbu or kobe 1995, on the other hand have shown that these columns are vulnerable to damage when subjected to earthquake loading. this paper presents a new innovative thin-walled hollow steel column fabricated of corrugated plates, “thin-walled steel columns...

In this paper, a novel corrugated structure at the edges of the Vivaldi substrate is presented. Compared with the Vivaldi antenna without corrugated structure, the new structure has a better radiation pattern. While compared with the traditional corrugated structure, the new structure has a better front-to-back ratio (F/B ratio). Properly chosen thickness and dielectric constant of substrate en...
